TAIPEI (Taiwan News) —Thai newlyweds on their honeymoon in Taiwan were delighted to be reunited with a lost wedding ring that a good samaritan returned to a Taichung police station.
Jizhong Police Station received a report from a Thai couple at 7 a.m. Saturday (Feb. 24) of a lost wedding ring. The couple was worried as they planned to return to Thailand in three days, per Liberty Times.
The newlyweds discovered they lost the ring while traveling on a bus bound for Sun Moon Lake. The 37-year-old Thai woman checked her possessions and her carry-on luggage to no avail.

The couple decided to return to Taichung to report the lost ring. The police reassured the couple that they would conduct a search and encouraged the couple to continue on their honeymoon.
Police later reviewed surveillance footage and found the Thai woman took off her rings and set them on her suitcase as she applied hand cream while waiting for the car to take her to the bus station. She forgot to put her rings back on and they fell to the ground.
Fortunately, an older couple found a pair of rings that fell to the ground. The couple then took the rings to a local police station.
When the police recovered the rings, they contacted the Thai couple, who traveled back to Taichung to collect the rings.
The Thai woman was overjoyed her wedding ring was found and could not stop smiling and thanking the police. The couple later posed for photos with the police officer who assisted them, and said this experience led them to have fond memories of Taiwan.
